Panchang in Pāthardi, Maharashtra Fri 14 Oct 2039

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 14 Oct only, at 06:23: Fri 14 Oct. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 06:24 Thu, before it (04:47–06:23).

Parama Ekadashi: every date in Pāthardi

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 300°–312° is the 26th, Krishna Ekadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:23 here. Dashami ended at 06:24 Thu, before it. Ekadashi ends at 06:40, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 2 Oct, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwadashi began at 06:40 and ended at 06:08 Sat, between the sunrises of 06:23 and 06:23 Sat. Friday reads Ekadashi and Saturday reads Trayodashi: Dwadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Thu 13 Oct ran from sunset 18:08 Thu to sunrise 06:23, 12 h 15 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:23 to 18:07, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 28 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:07 to 06:23 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 32 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Magha spans 120°00′–133°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 126°40′. It leaves at 16:08, for Purva Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 176.1° + 128° = 304.1°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 293°20′–306°40′ is the 23rd, Shubha. It ends at 10:42, then Shukla.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ekadashi is Bava and the second Balava. Bava ended at 18:38 Thu, when the lead reached 306°; Balava runs until 06:40.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:23 to 06:23 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 18 Sep 13:53 Sun to 18 Oct 00:39 Tue the Sun stayed in Kanya, entering Tula at 18 Oct 03:55 Tue, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashwina, before Ashwina itself.

A purnimanta month runs from full moon to full moon, so its waning half comes first. It shares its name with the amanta month that its second half falls in: the new moon of 18 Oct, with the Sun in Kanya, begins Ashwina (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashwina (Adhik) here, and Ashwina (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 24 Mar 2039, 23:29 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 196.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2096; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1961.
